- Implement support for !Type:Prices records in the QIF importer.
- Modernize construction of GObjects using G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE, G_DECLARE_FINAL, etc.
- Fix yet more leaks.
- [DBI backend] Change DBI test URLs to environment variables from cmake configuration definitions.

- Bump minimum cmake version to 3.14 and drop some conditionals for older versions
- Major speedup in the SQLBackend by replacing C++ exceptions with std::optional for null values.
- Refresh the GUI on completion of the import matcher so that the imports are immediately reflected in the register.
- Improve online quote retrieval error reporting.
- Test loading and saving XML files with and without compression
- [import-main-matcher] always defer_bal_computation during import to speed up both importing new transactions, and destroying existing ones.
- GncGtkListUIItem::set_option_from_ui_item: Iterate over selected items Instead of all possible items.
- Convert gnc-ofx-import.c, import-parse.c, import-utilities.c, import-format-dialog.c, import-account-matcher.c, import-commodity-matcher.c, import-settings.c, import-pending-matches.c, import-match-picker.c, import-main-matcher.c, and gnc-pricedb.c to .cpp
- By default, filter out online_wiggle in test-gnc-quotes. Running ./bin/test-gnc-quotes from the command line will still include online_wiggle
- Replace yahoo_json with alphavantage in test-gnc-quotes. yahoo_json is too unstable.
- Include timezone in price-quote date diagnostic messages.

GnuCash 5.2 Released
The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 5.2, the third release in the stable 5.x series
Between 5.1 and 5.2, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
- Bug 777472 - reconcile does not work if transaction selected
Check that there's no outstanding activity in the current register page before starting a reconciliation. It is still possible to start modifying a transaction after the reconciliation window is open but this will stop the most common issue with the process. Starting a reconciliation from the account tree is left unprotected.
- Bug 798564 - GnuCash is slow when there are a lot of open tabs/registers (37)
Lazily load registers as is already done with reports.
- Bug 798597 - The word "Separators" needs two separate versions
Use "Character-separated" when it's a choice between that and fixed field width and "Select Separator Character" when it's a heading.
- Bug 798695 - Deleting everything from the "Transfer" cell after suggestions pop-up restricts search to the first 30 accounts
Skip the search on an empty value and return all accounts in the combo box as it normally does if the account list is opened without searching for something.
- Bug 798796 - Account list incomplete in report options
Allow stock/fund accounts that are descendants of Bank accounts to be selected for the Advanced Portfolio, Investment Lots and Investment Portfolio reports.
- Bug 798809 - Multicolumn report error when reopened after saving.
- Bug 798839 - Edit -> Preferences string not translatable (reopened)
- Bug 798862 - Merge identical strings (reopened)
Ensure similar strings are identical and use double line view instead of double line mode.
- Bug 798879 - RFE: [Transaction Report] add Running Total option
- Bug 798885 - Accented character in folder name on Account Export (reopened)
- Bug 798899 - Gnucash crashes during CSV import when using a template if the destination account is changed from one used in the template
- Bug 798901 - Wrong value for very small prices from Finance::Quote.
- Bug 798916 - Exchange rates fetched from openexchange off by factor of 10
- Bug 798919 - Inconsistent signs in creating budget
- Bug 798923 - OFX import is no longer matching security nor asking for stock account.
- Bug 798930 - invoices won't sequence to the next number
- Bug 798948 - XML file corrupted by saving twice in extremely short period
- Bug 798952 - Unable to set day threshold or counters in properties.
- Bug 798960 - Transaction completion horizontal scrolling opens without the new text being visible and remembers previous position/width
- Bug 798966 - Uninitialised variable used in dialog-account-picker.c:dialog_response_cb()
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
- The type-ahead selection of transaction descriptions has been substantially overhauled based on extensive user feedback. Matches are now only on the beginning of words and are now sorted by age since last use. This both substantially reduces the number of matches and prioritizes the most recently used as being the most likely candidates for re-use. To help distinguish cases of long descriptions where the match would be outside the popup's viewport the viewport is automatically scrolled horizontally so that the end of the left-most (right-most in rtl languages) matches is centered in the view. Completion can be aborted with the <escape> key or a new Don't autocomplete selection that's the first entry in the popup.
- Fix lockup on Windows in type-ahead selection of transaction descriptions.
- More budget-module sign fixes and improvements.
- Lots of memory-leak fixes, GLib modernization, and code cleanup by Richard Cohen, Simon Arlott, & Chris Lam.
- bugfix xaccTransGetTxnType: avoid returning TXN_TYPE_LINK incorrectly: A TXN_TYPE_PAYMENT will have non-APAR splits; a TXN_TYPE_LINK will not have non-APAR splits. This bug manifests as a regular TXN_TYPE_PAYMENT transaction being later voided being incorrectly changed to TXN_TYPE_LINK.
- Including brokerage fees in Money Out calculation (if not ignoring them) in advanced-portfolio.scm report and updating the "advanced" tests to reflect selling fees being included into the money out value
- [stock-txn-asst] Don't use the initial value in amount edit widgets unless they're valid. Otherwise the invalid value will log an error that will prevent later valid input from working.
- BUGFIX: Actions > Online Actions > Show log Window does not open when it is first clicked.
- cmake: check gdk only when building GUI
- Get the tooltip working on "Online Banking Setup"

Between 5.0 and 5.1, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
- Bug 765920 - Running balance not accurate when sorted different ways
- Renamed option to "Account Balance" to avoid confusion with running total.
- Added helper function to ensure running balance and balance forward are only shown when transaction are grouped by account and sorted as in register. In that case column heading remains "Running Balance" and balance forward is shown. Otherwwise column heading is renamed "Account Balance" and balance forward is not shown.
- Also added missing code for Common Currency conversion.
- Bug 797879 - [Transaction Report] running balance column not consistent with amount column for SAME transaction date
- Bug 798461 - balance sheet shows positions with zero balances despite report options
- Bug 798775 - Why is General Journal called "Register" in the tabs?

- Bug 798812 - crashes after I open a customer report and select…
- Bug 798813 - Under File->Import, Missing OFX/QFX menu item
- Bug 798815 - flatpak run --command=gnucash-cli cannot download quotes since 5.0.
- Bug 798821 - Crash when running report in window
- Bug 798834 - CSS-based Stylesheet Help Button not working
- Bug 798839 - Edit -> Preferences string not translatable
- Bug 798844 - "Assign as Payment" does nothing in 4.14 & 5.0
- Bug 798845 - User Config and User Data link broken
- Bug 798851 - Account Balance 'include subaccounts' not saved
- Bug 798854 - Softkey 'Save Config' remains dark
- Bug 798862 - Merge identical strings
- Bug 798863 - Crash on clicking Settings button second time
- Bug 798864 - Budget Reporting on select reports are wrong
- Bug 798869 - Transaction Import MAP
- Bug 798872 - Reload inoperative for reports
- Bug 798877 - Program crashes upon selection of CSV profile
- Bug 798885 - Accented character in folder name on Account Export
- Bug 798886 - [Transaction Report] Subtotal upper headings do not follow font style of lower headings
- Bug 798893 - several menu tip messages in reports are marked translatable but unused.
- Bug 798894 - TOTD with ellipsis broken.
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
- Add filters to the File>Open dialog in File mode to show only files with GnuCash extensions, only those matching GnuCash's backup file pattern, or any extension.

- Improve foreign currency handling in budget report
- Improve handling of the blank transaction when the register is sorted in reverse:
- Change the preference option 'Future transactions after blank transaction'
- Change tooltip for 'Blank Transaction' in register to mention moving to the blank transaction.
- Show the blank transaction at top of register
- Prevent infinite recursion from gnucash_item_edit_focus_out when using an input method.
- Create obsolete features list with first member book_currency.Obsolete features set in the book will be removed from the book's KVP and ignored.
- Restore existence, but not implementation, of GNC_FEATURE_BOOK_CURRENCY.
At least one user has managed to get it set on their book so even though it was supposed to be unimplemented it got through somehow. Restoring it allows books with it set to load.
- Offer to force edit non-identical fields when multiple matches are selected in the import matcher window. Previously only identical Desc/Notes/Memo were unlocked for editing.
- Guard against there being no namespaces in the new security dialog
- Fix Finance::Quote use on Win32 by dealing with Win32 \r\n newlines on return from finance-quote-wrapper.
- Fix some menu labels that were not marked for translation
- Fix category in CSV export with simple layout.
If Trading accounts is enabled, and the transaction is a transfer between two accounts of differing commodities, the CSV simple-layout export would incorrectly show "--Split Transaction--" as the category.
- When configuring Guile use pkg-config before searching for binaries.

Note that if you don't use the View Lots dialog to manage capital gains and losses this report won't have anything to show you. Use Reports>Assets & Liabilities>Investment Lots to see the report.
- The Online Quotes facility has been completely rewritten and the old gnc-fq-check, gnc-fq-dump, and gnc-fq-helper programs have been replaced with finance-quote-wrapper. The functions performed by those programs may now be accomplished by passing commands to gnucash-cli -Q, see gnucash-cli --help for specifics. The perl module requirements have changed with the rewrite: The new version doesn't need Date::Manip but needs JSON::Parse instead. gnc-fq-update has been, er, updated to reflect that.
- A new tab on the New/Edit Account dialog called More Properties includes entries to set a high and low limit on an account. That's coupled to a new column that's available on the Accounts Page, Balance Limit. If you set a high or low limit and the account balance falls above or below the respective limit an indicator will be shown in the Balance Limit column.
- The description field quickfill in the register now displays a drop-down list of possible completions instead of just one inline completion.
- File import menu items for the MT940, MT942, and DTAUS formats is replaced with a single Import from AQBanking that supports importing any file format supported by AQBanking, including the frequently requested CAMT. (Note that some CAMT profiles are under the XML format.)
- The import matcher now permits editing descriptions, notes, and memo fields in the matcher window before creating the transactions. Right-click and select from the context menu.
- The report generated by the Print Invoice button on the Edit Invoice tab can now be configured as a book option at the bottom of the Business tab; this permits selecting a saved configuration of one of the standard invoice reports. Another option enables a delay, during which a dialog box will appear enabling the user to select a different report. Note: When saving a configuration make sure that the invoice number is not set or you'll get that particular invoice instead of the one that you pressed the button for.
Significant Code Changes

- gnc:option-set-value
- gnc:option-setter
- gnc:option-value
- gnc:register-option
- The invoice option to gnc:register-report-create-internal
Report and Book Options
- This major change will affect everyone who has written custom reports in Guile Scheme.
- The report and book options code has been completely rewritten in C++ with SWIG providing Guile Scheme access for reports. The new design requires directly registering options with for example
gnc-optiondb-register-string-option
instead of callinggnc:make-string-option
to create an option followed bygnc:register-option
to insert it in the report's options. - Value access is also changed: Instead of retrieving an option and then querying or setting its value with
gnc:option-value
one will query the optiondb withgnc-option-value
, the arguments to which are the optiondb, the section, and the option name. - Supporting the new options backend the options dialog code in gnc-dialog-options, gnc-business-options, and the new gnc-option-gtk-ui have also been rewritten in C++.
Online Price Retrieval
- As noted under New Features the interface to Finance::Quote has been completely rewritten in C++ with much of the behavior previously coded in external perl scripts moved into GnuCash proper. This permits much better access to Finance::Quotes's facilities and in particular should provide much richer error reporting.
Stability Improvements
- There are hundreds of small changes to prevent memory leaks, reduce unnecessary memory allocations, and fix compiler and static analyzer warnings.
- Use of deprecated API in C/C++ is now an error (with 3 exceptions), including for the minimum required version of GLib and Gtk.
- Extensive changes to the CSV importer, resolving most known bugs.
- Remove all unused variables and made an unused variable a compile error.
- Move all extern "C" declarations into the respective header files and remove extern "C" wrappers around #include statements.
- Separate the scheme financial functions into a separate module so that all other scheme code can be banished from libgnucash to bindings.
Modernization
- The menus and toolbars now use the GAction and GActionGroup actuation functions, replacing the deprecated GtkAction and GtkActionGroup APIs.
- The experimental Register2 implementation is removed, as is the never-used Jalali calendar code and partly-written option code for creating a book currency.

GnuCash 4.14 Released
The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.14, the fifteenth and final release in the stable 4.x series
Between 4.13 and 4.14, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
- Bug 797477 - Manual foreign transaction from APAR to another doesn't trigger price input
- Bug 797725 - Untranslatable string "For Period Covering ~a to ~a"
- Bug 797903 - Transaction window: The 'blue line' is always (erroneously) topmost when t. sorting order is inverted.

- Bug 798625 - "Last up through report date" changed in 4.12
Don't adjust report dates with time64CanonicalDayTime. They're set to 23:59:59 local which is always >= neutral time at which prices and transactions are timestamped. Local noon is before neutral time for all time zones east of UTC+2.
- Bug 798679 - Unicode normalization should be used for comparison but not stored.
Change to NFC normalization for all comparisons because the Unicode meaning of compatible might collide with the user's intent.
- Bug 798702 - Crash in gnc_plugin_page_focus_idle_destroy() closing a report before it completes.
- Bug 798705 - ] New: UI string mismatch: OK vs. Next
- Bug 798712 - Regional Decimal Point not recognized in budgets
- Bug 798717 - Reports > Business > Fancy Invoice duplicates company details
- Bug 798732 - : Type of balance carry forward accounts for german skr49 account template fixed
- Bug 798734 - Aging Reports don't handle mixed currency payments and invoices without Trading Accounts
- Bug 798734 - Aging Reports don't handle mixed currency payments and invoices without Trading Accounts
- Bug 798737 - Minor grammatical error - 'for' missing in 'You will be asked a conversion rate for each.'
- Bug 798740 - Build fails with gcc 13
- Bug 798747 - Crash in Investment Portfolio report
- Bug 798748 - Transaction Notes field's value does not appear in reverse transaction.
- Bug 798754 - Build fails with gcc 13 and glib > 2.76
- Bug 798759 - Register widths for 'with sub-account' not saved
- Bug 798765 - Increase the limit for Maximum Slices in the Expense Piechart
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
- Budget totals for one period would be wrong when increasing the number of periods.
- Allow C decls after statements, legal since C99.
- [kvp] Use static strings and boxed in gvalue_from_kvp_value. Saves allocating and copying complex values, avoiding potential memory leaks.
- L10N:DE:Updating accounts from 0001 to 8000 DATEV-SKR04 2022-01-01.
- Payment dialog - always list all possible post accounts. Before only the post account in the currency of the selected vendor or customer was available.
- Revisit invoice payment in multi-currency context
- Show proper amount in dialog when applying or editing an existing transaction as payment
- Be more careful not to waste the existing payment split
- If the user changed the payment amount while starting from an existing transaction unreconcile the changed payment split
- Avoid needlessly changing transaction currency (only do so if the user chose a new transfer account and the old currency is neither the new transfer account's currency nor the post account's currency)
- Edit/assign payment - be more prudent not to lose data
We can't handle the case where a transaction has splits in more than one APAR account. Instead of only warning that some of them will be lost refuse to continue and leave it to the user to fix the transaction first.
- Multi-currency - show split amount rather than transaction value
- Activate feature GNC_FEATURE_EQUITY_TYPE_OPENING_BALANCE
- [balsheet-pnl] move out of experimental into regular menu. After 4 years it can finally graduate.
- [dialog-sx-editor]Allow a daily SX to show all recurrences in the calendar instead of only 6 months.
- Update Form/Schedule line references for 2022 for the US Income Tax Report

GnuCash 4.904 Released
The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.904, the fifth unstable release leading to GnuCash 5.0.
This is an unstable release for testing purposes. Do not use it with production data! Make a copy of your book to test this release.
New Features
- A new Stock Transaction Assistant to guide you through entering most investment transactions for stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. You can access it from Actions>Stock Assistant when you have the Accounts page ora Stock or Fund account register open.
- A new Investment Lots report showing a graph of capital gains and losses in a period by investment lot. Note that if you don't use the View Lots dialog to manage capital gains and losses this report won't have anything to show you. Use Reports>Assets & Liabilities>Investment Lots to see the report.
- The Online Quotes facility has been completely rewritten and the old gnc-fq-check, gnc-fq-dump, and gnc-fq-helper programs have been replaced with finance-quote-wrapper. The functions performed by those programs may now be accomplished by passing commands to gnucash-cli -Q, see gnucash-cli --help for specifics. The perl module requirements have changed with the rewrite: The new version doesn't need Date::Manip but needs JSON::Parse instead. gnc-fq-update has been, er, updated to reflect that.
- A new tab on the New/Edit Account dialog called More Properties includes entries to set a high and low limit on an account. That's coupled to a new column that's available on the Accounts Page, Balance Limit. If you set a high or low limit and the account balance falls above or below the respective limit an indicator will be shown in the Balance Limit column.
- The description field quickfill in the register now displays a drop-down list of possible completions instead of just one inline completion.

Note: When saving a configuration make sure that the invoice number is not set or you'll get that particular invoice instead of the one that you pressed the button for.
Between 4.903 and 4.904, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
The following fixes will also appear in GnuCash 4.14:
The following fixes are in 4.904 only and will not appear in GnuCash 4.14:
- Bug 798558 - Irregular line spacing in Account Tree View
- Bug 798773 - Help file launches in browser when using command-H to hide GnuCash
This is a MacOS-only problem. Note that for the fix to have effect you must remove the file accelerator-map from GNC_CONFIG_HOME when GnuCash isn't running.
- Bug 798778 - GnuCash quits abruptly when attempting to edit options for certain reports.
- Bug 798781 - Printing multiple checks prints duplicate checks
- Bug 798787 - gnc-register-owner-option currently broken
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
- Fix quotes codecvt to wchar_t error on Windows.
- Budget totals for one period would be wrong when increasing the number of periods.
- Change the handling of accelerator maps. Gtk no longer supports changing these from the menus and the save no longer writes out the accelerators that have their default values, so to assist users editing them we have generated default ones that we include with GnuCash and have disabled saving when quitting GnuCash. At startup GnuCash will check for the presence of the file accelerator-map in GNC_CONFIG_HOME and if it's not found will copy in the default one.
- Properly parse plus signs while importing numbers in a CSV file.
- Fix CSV price import file loading.
- CsvImport - actually do as the warning indicates: If an invalid column is found in a preset, replace it with a NONE column, rather than not inserting a column at all.

About the Program
GnuCash is a free, open source accounting program released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) and available for GNU/Linux, *BSD, Solaris, MacOS, and Microsoft Windows. Programming on GnuCash began in 1997, and its first stable release was in 1998.
GnuCash 4.902 Released
The GnuCash development team announces GnuCash 4.902, the third unstable release leading to GnuCash 5.0.
This is an unstable release for testing purposes. Do not use it with production data! Make a copy of your book to test this release.
New Features
- A new Stock Transaction Assistant to guide you through entering most investment transactions for stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. You can access it from Actions>Stock Assistant when you have the Accounts page ora Stock or Fund account register open.
- A new Investment Lots report showing a graph of capital gains and losses in a period by investment lot. Note that if you don't use the View Lots dialog to manage capital gains and losses this report won't have anything to show you. Use Reports>Assets & Liabilities>Investment Lots to see the report.
- A new tab on the New/Edit Account dialog called More Properties includes entries to set a high and low limit on an account. That's coupled to a new column that's available on the Accounts Page, Balance Limit. If you set a high or low limit and the account balance falls above or below the respective limit an indicator will be shown in the Balance Limit column.
- The description field quickfill in the register now displays a drop-down list of possible completions instead of just one inline completion.
- File import menu items for the MT940, MT942, and DTAUS formats is replaced with a single Import from AQBanking that supports importing any file format supported by AQBanking, including the frequently requested CAMT.
The report generated by the Print Invoice button on the Edit Invoice tab can now be configured as a book option at teh bottom of the Business tab; this permits selecting a saved configuration of one of the standard invoice reports. Another option enables a delay, during which a dialog box will appear enabling the user to select a different report.
Note: When saving a configuration make sure that the invoice number is not set or you'll get that particular invoice instead of the one that you pressed the button for.
Between 4.901 and 4.902, the following bugfixes were accomplished:
The following fixes will also appear in GnuCash 4.14:
- Bug 798748 - Transaction Notes field's value does not appear in reverse transaction.
- Bug 798754 - Build fails with gcc 13 and glib > 2.76
- Bug 798759 - Register widths for 'with sub-account' not saved
- Bug 798600 - CSV import of multi-split security transactions fails to load capital gain
Transactions with capital gains processing can have splits in transaction currency with a zero amount and a non-zero value. To properly import those, prefer the value column even if transaction currency equals account commodity. Previous (wrong) assumption was that in case of a same-currency split, the amount would always be the value.
Update csv transaction export format to include split values. In the csv importer the 'GnuCash Export Format' option will now include values. For compatibility with filex exported from older gnucash versions the previous preset is still available under the name 'GnuCash Export Format (4.x and older)'.
The following additional bug fixes are in unstable only:
- Bug 782141 - Import CSV - Multi-currency support can cause rounding errors
Replace the column types 'Deposit' and 'Withdrawal' with 'Amount' and 'Amount (Negated)' that are conceptually applicable more widely. Also introduce column types 'Value' and 'Value (Negated)' to allow construction of splits in commodities different from the transaction currency. While Value is the number in the transaction currency, always use 'Amount' in single-currency transactions.
- Bug 793306 - Price is not imported from CSV
- Bug 796955 - Import CSV - Single-line two-currency transactions can't be imported
- Bug 797033 - The CSV Importer should not obey with the "automatic digital point" setting
- Bug 797383 - Import transaction via CSV selects the commodity as a currency, results in an invalid transaction that is uneditable, and a corrupted price database.
Change the transaction currency to the from or base account's parent account currency if the from or base account is not denominated in a currency. This allows to import stock transactions directly into the stock account.
- Bug 797903 - Transaction window: The 'blue line' is always (erroneously) topmost when t. sorting order is inverted.
- Bug 798334 - Importing transactions from CSV with space as thousand separator
- Bug 798572 - Parse numbers with two minus signs as a positive numbers
- Bug 798691 - Memo field not updated on CSV import using U+C
- Bug 798732 - : Type of balance carry forward accounts for german skr49 account template fixed
The accounts listed are of the EQUITY type and not ASSET.
- Bug 798749 - Fails to read gsettings on startup
- Bug 798753 - UX improvements in new import dialog
- Bug 798763 - "Manage Document Link" keyboard shortcut is missing
The following fixes and improvements were not associated with bug reports:
- Always use the Company Name from book options in reports, removing the Company Name report option.
- Fix the register sheet being insensitive when in reverse order
- Allow C decls after statements.
Legal since C99.
- Make the scheme tests fail immediately if they load an external gnucash file.
- [c++options] Restore the ability to set plot sizes in pixels.
- [c++ options] Restore forward & backward compatibility, fix crash.
- CsvTokenizer - add additional test case for escaped quotes
It simulates the case where csv fields are fully quoted and an escaped quote ("") is found in some field. This case is handled correctly, adding the test to guard this in potential future modifications.
- [dialog-employee] toggle sensitivity instead of visibility of GncAccountSel
- [eguile-utilities.scm] remove fmtnumber
deprecated in maint.
- Sort the gnc tree view column menu
- Delete action on account page not disabled on edits.
- L10N:DE:Updating accounts from 0001 to 8000 DATEV-SKR04 2022-01-01
- GSettings migration: Ensure that the current version is set on a new GnuCash installation and that migrations applicable to versions of GnuCash later than the current one do not run.
- Turn on -Wunused
- Rename Hellow World report to Sample Report.
- Generic Importer - allow user to modify exchange rates for unbalanced transactions.
- Make logging accessible from python modules
- Allow C declarations after statements
Good for declaring variables at point of use
New and Updated Translations: Czech, Hungarian
Help translate GnuCash on Weblate.
Translators note that there is a new project Program-beta on weblate for this unstable branch. Having twice the strings causes us to exceed the free account limit, but Weblate has so far just warned us about it. If we need to change the branch we'll announce it on gnucash-devel.
